This guy bought a Mercedes-Benz S-Class W22 for just $15,000.

After snapping it up he was unsure what the condition of the auto would be after buying it on a red light.

But after taking it for a spin, he was shocked at what he found.

Was his $15,000 snap up in mint condition or was it error code central? Stay tuned as we find out.

Mercedes-Benz is a solid car make

The masterminds behind the German brand have created a whole fleet with a variety of autos under its belt, from daily drivers to supercars.

Dubai police have even added the Mansory-tuned Mercedes-AMG G63 to it’s already incredible fleet, too.

In fact, our very own Alex Hirschi, AKA Supercar Blondie, got her hands on the exact Mercedes AMG Vision GT that Bruce Wayne drove…

And couldn’t stop saying ‘I’m Batman’ – which you can see for yourself in the video above.

This guy though, decided to buy one for a steal and was shocked at what he received.

Enter in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222

Youtuber The Car Addict decided to purchase himself a 2014 Mercedes S-Class – but for just $15,000.

It was sold on a red light – which basically means, sold as seen – and shipped from Texas.

And, after checking it out – the paintwork had a few lumps and bumps – but there was nothing majorly concerning

He wondered why it was so cheap

Having180,000 miles on the odometer did cause initial concern, but it turns out that the auto was in pretty much mint condition.

It was a one-owner car with no accidents recorded and had even been dealer serviced itself.

Plus, the car even had a brand new timing set which the creator described as being a ‘pretty big deal’, and he even said the tires looked ‘brand new’ too.

All we’re seeing are positives.

The inside of the Mercedes was impressive, too

Even the seats amazed the YouTuber, with heated elements and active bolsters that were said to inflate.

Cruise control and Apple Car Play also came with the cabin, which impressed its new owner even more.

It has some good reviews online

One auto enthusiast even labeled the auto as being ‘endlessly comfortable, preposterously well-equipped, enormously spacious, and beautifully finished’.

“This thing’s got anything and everything you could really ever want from a car in my opinion,” said The Car Addict.

It had no engine error codes either, proving that the snap-up really was one-of-a-kind.

You just can’t buy these for $15,000, but again it does have some mileage – 181,493 miles – so she’s not young,” he said.

Let’s not forget that considering it was bought on a red light, any manner of things could have been wrong with the car – but he lucked out massively.
